How do I know if I have a cold, the flu or COVID-19?
Symptoms of common colds, the flu and COVID-19 can overlap, so experts say testing is the best way to determine what you have.

This is typically how viruses generally work. It's much better for the virus if it doesn't kill the host.

Today the CDC reported that more than 75% of COVID deaths in the United States have been among seniors. Less than 0.2% have been among children. Dr. Fauci is giving us some hope. Or not.

Fauci says COVID-19 won't go away like smallpox, but will more likely become endemic
The White House's top medical adviser says the virus won't go away entirely. Instead, it should eventually hit a level where it "doesn't disrupt our normal social, economic and other interactions."

My youngest son (age 15) popped positive yesterday. Mostly just sniffles. The rest of us have no symptoms, but we probably have it because we've been cooped up together since Friday. I'm working from home this week just to be safe.
Someone on NPR said this afternoon that even if a more contagious or deadly variant came along, it would have a hard time finding enough vulnerable people in the global population to gain a foothold.
And it looks like the US has peaked and is trending down. Not everywhere and not equally, but that's the national trend, and the trend here in VA.
Okay, just checked Canuckistan's numbers and you all are also trending down, even faster than your neighbors to the south. Well done, hosers. Well done.

I had it about 2 or 3 weeks ago, was with Mrs. Scotch, who didn't get it. And the whole time I was home, she didn't get it. My 86 year old mother-in-law didn't get it either, and I contracted it from her house.

Hopefully everyone is OK.
If we're lucky.
If we're lucky. I have a feeling that stupid is going to get in the way though.

Are you guys assuming you or your family are positive or negative based upon those quick tests or an actual PCR test? The quick tests are pretty unreliable. Lots of false positives and false negatives.

My officemate and one of his daughters got it last week. His wife and other daughter didn't.

Quick test in my son’s case, just because he had some symptoms and we had a test from his school. The rest of us haven’t been tested and probably won’t unless we get symptoms.
